In 2002, Foresight Energy owner Chris Cline spent $300 million for mining rights, land and equipment in Illinois, betting on coal his rivals were abandoning. The value of Illinois deposits quintupled during the next five years, helping Cline raise $1.2 billion to build the mines that he's now parlaying into a fortune.
